keeps it that way.

It’s officially NYFW and the madness is upon us, in a good (yet always sleep-deprived) way. Ahead of our show on Sunday night, we stay busy bopping around the city from show-to-show capturing the collection essentials and backstage highlights at some of our favorite brands showing in New York. For Eric Schlösberg we headed uptown (yeah, you heard that right) to a rendezvous at the Plaza Hotel penthouse—a word that has been synonymous with sexy and FANCY since 1965. This season, the fantasy vet designer plays with Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee in a post-skinemax road trip recreation.

When we walked into penthouse room 2032 we …
Of course headed straight to the mini bar … it’s fashion week. But Schlösberg provided his own version of open bar as if he just hit the bodega before popping the suitcase open after a long trip from the west coast. And that essentially was the theme “It’s Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee hitchhiking one hot, wet summer,” Schlösberg said “They hitchhike all the way from L.A. to New York and crash the Park Plaza”.

If we were to wear one piece of Eric’s collection in the lobby of the hotel what would it be?
The ‘I SWALLOW’ crop top ringer tee. Walking billboard or not, the looks on the guest's faces would be priceless.
